" Mrs. Ward, please. " " Speaking. " " Mrs. Ward, this is Doctor Jones at the Medical Testing Laboratory. When your doctor sent your husband's biopsy to the lab yesterday, a biopsy from another Mr.Ward arrived as well, and we are now uncertain which one is your husband's. Frankly the results are either bad or terrible. " " What do you mean? " Mrs. Ward asks nervously. " Well, one of the specimens tested positive for Alzheimer's and the other one tested positive for AIDS. We can't tell which is your husband's. " " That's dreadful! Can't you do the test again? " questioned Mrs. Ward. " Normally we can, but Medicare will only pay for these expensive tests one time. " " Well, what am I supposed to do now? " " The people at Medicare recommend that you drop your husband off somewhere in the middle of town. If he finds his way home, don't sleep with him.
